Unboxing the NEW 2021 Bose QuietComfort 45 QC45! Pre-ordered from Bose Australia Wednesday 1st September and delivered 3rd September! Check out my review: ua-cam.com/video/tUcJ48fDU_M/v-deo.html QC35ii vs QC45 Comparison: ua-cam.com/video/85NtWwIo3Wk/v-deo.html
Such a shame what they did to the QC45s. Lower quality with a steeper price; what better way to say "fuсk you" to the consumer? They cheaped out on the earpads and headband, nerfed the carrying strap on the case and removed the case's rear pouch, substituted the case's grippable and durable zipper for a shitty soft leather one, and the quality control has been startlingly poor for a company generally known for high quality audio products. I myself had to return my first pair after receiving it with ANC only working in one ear - it felt like I was descending in an airplane. I had my QC35 IIs for 4 years before it started making intermittent screeching noises and garbled audio, and I loved them so much I just had to support Bose by "upgrading" to the 45s. Since I couldn't get a refund for my first pair of QC45s I'll be shopping exclusively Sony in the future, unfortunately.
Is it worth the upgrade?
What it’s worth is relative to your own expectations. If you want value go QC35ii if you want latest and greatest with minor upgrades go QC45s. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Are the 45 as comfy and easy to wear?
Yep they sure are. Pretty similar in comfort. Thanks for watching!
So you compared them by not including the audio for the QC 35? How does that work?
Yeah I recorded both QC35ii and QC45 with same track for comparison. Thanks for watching!
A very very good test ! The best i have seen with this two headphone !
Wonderful feedback! Thank you and thanks for watching. 🙏
do replacement earpads for the qc35 fit on the qc45? i have a bunch of qc35 earpads but my qc35 just died. thinking of upgrading to qc45.
Yeah it looks like it. QC35 and QC45 have interchangeable earpads.
QC 45s are UNUSABLE in windy situations. QC35s can eliminate wind noise in ANC low mode, which QC45s do not have anymore. Buy QC35 ii
I think they cut corners somewhere? Thanks for watching and commenting!
what about the different ANC Modes? The QC45 doesnt have an Off-Mode which the QC35ii has.
Didn’t get around to testing Quiet and Aware modes on QC45. Yes QC35ii can turn off ANC but lacks transparency mode. Thanks for watching!
@@kelvinhong-au my problem is i get dizzy after a couple of hours using ANC (for example while flying), i want do disable ANC. so i bought Bose AE2i but the sound quality is really bad.. i'm getting QC35ii tomorrow.
hey thank you for this nice review you sail thant it is woroth to upgrade to the bose 45 from bose 35 and at the same time rting result's is the bose 35 is better so why that ?
Thanks for the feedback, thanks for watching! QC35 is better value overall.
I love how the QC 35 look to be honest
Agreed, they’ve taken a bit of a step backwards in quality. Thanks for watching!
One big factor for me that i did not notice u mention, is the 45’s ability to be connected to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously (multipoint) and is simply not possible with the 35 ii’s. Thanks for the great comparison video.
Excellent feedback and yes QC45 does have an improvement with Bluetooth simultaneous connection. Thanks for watching!
@@kelvinhong-au np, and quickest reply I’ve ever received from a creator ever. You have definitely earned a sub. Have a good one. 😁
I have the 35 II and I can connect to two devices at once.
@@SanjayVaranasi yeah i think maybe they updated them tbh because mine can as well.
Great comparison. Looks like I will not be upgrading to the QC45. Having had to upgrade the ear cups a little while back, I’m not really seeing the QC45 as much of an upgrade. Maybe something from Beyerdynamic. I hear they’re very comfortable.
Thanks for watching! I’ve recently brought Sony WH-1000XM5 and these are now the king of comfort.
Ive had Bose headphones, soundlink25s, for 6-7 yrs and they recenty gave up. Love them and used them almost daily so well worth money. Bought qc45 and first thought was quality. Like its clean sound and not too heavy on bass. Buy another brand for tat purpose. Tho i must say im very disappointed with noice cancellation. Slightest wind and you hear it. Even with music on. I have to say i will retyurn the pair... too much money and expected better...
Best value I would recommend is QC35ii over QC45s. Noise cancellation is only minor upgrade. Thanks for watching!
Both comfort and sound is better on the QC35 II so it's an easy choice. Check rtings for a well done testing.
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment!
Please am not English man . Can't translate more you said Which one is better for music details worthy clear high quality Bose 700 or bose qc45 or soundcore life q35 .. Or Sony or what ..
QC45 has best better sound than QC35. I can’t comment on 700’s though? Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the awesome video! I purchased 2 pairs of 45’s for Christmas gifts and 1 pair 35 that was an Open Box that I am using now to watch this video. Both are really good phones but after watching this, I agree the 45’s are superior but I save $100 on the 35’s from eBay.
Wow lucky members getting QC45’s as Christmas gifts! Indeed it’s a trade off between value or newest tech. Thanks for the feedback and watching!
Both is over the air?
Updates are via your phone or iPad. Thanks for watching!
way better now with the EQ update for the 45
Ah ic thats now a plus for EQ on QC45. Thanks for updating and watching!
Hi, do you think Sony wh1000xm4 is better or is it Bose QUIETCOMFORT 45?
Overall I think XM4 is better. QC45 is more comfortable. Thanks for watching!
BOSEのQC45にアプリのアップロードにより、イコライザーが付きました。 高音中音低音の、3項目ですが、使ってみると案外音のアレンジができるので、これで今まで言われていた高音が刺さるとか、低音が足りないとかと言う欠点が解消されると思います。この機種の価値が高まると思います。
Boseアプリにイコライザーがあるのは素晴らしいことです。見てくれてありがとう!
The look of the 35s look cleaner
QC35ii style has held well over many years. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the review. I am not sure which one to buy, kind looks like the the QC 35 have better build quality.
Yes QC35 has the better build. But QC45 has the newer tech. Thanks for watching!
Such an in depth comparison! You hit every detail! I have the qc 35 ii but I want to upgrade to the qc 45's
Thanks for watching. Upgrade if you got the cash and want the newest tech.
I wouldn’t throw the word “upgrade” around too freely. Have you tried these in the wind? Truly awful, actually unusable. QC35ii are much better with their ANC options. If Bose update the firmware on these to allow the same, they will be an upgrade. But, this will put them closer to the 700s, so yeah, good luck with that.
I own Bose QC 35 II and its Remarkable till now the crispy sound quality with best ANC even after 3.5 yrs. Thank you. Your video cleared my choice, I will not upgrade and stick to QC 35II.
Thanks for watching and comments!
Me too. I also sleep with mine so the softer and thinner ear cups will fail sooner and probably be less comfortable. To me, there's no reason to spend more money on the 45's.
This is an excellent video! Thank you for the in-depth analysis. I was wondering if the QC 35 II had any pair issues or skipping music with the iPhone 13 (or more recent iPhones). Lastly, how is the QC45 with wind?
I didn’t have any issues with either headphones pairing with iPad 11 Pro or iPhone 12 Pro. Wind hadn’t been an issue. Thanks for feedback and watching!
@@kelvinhong-au Thanks! I bought a pair of QC 35 IIs and have skipping issues every so often with Spotify.
I definately like the look of the buttons and the inside of the ear cups on qc35 ii'
Thanks for your feedback and watching!
Nice, concise comparison yet you cover all important aspects, thanks Kelvin!
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Just got a pair of qc 45s. Pretty sure I'm returning. They're just wayyyy to flat. No bass. No depth. Sure the noise cancelling is good. Very clear. I guess if you want really clear podcasts or calls, than these ain't bad. But for music... no way. I had the QC 35 before and I swore they sounded better than the 45s. Used to love bose but these are really disappointing.
I must say Bose has outstanding return policy! You really have nothing to loose. Enjoyable sound signature is relative to the listener. Thanks for watching!
For a person on autism spectrum which of the two would you say is better ? Thanks.
QC35ii is fine and QC45 for someone who wants more newer updates. Thanks for watching!
Hi can I ask, the noise cancelling is for the microphone or the headphone?
I believe it’s both as the caller cannot hear the background noise.
What is your thought on the clamping force comparison between QC35II and QC45 and comfort level over long time wearing.
Clamping is basically the same between the two. Either are very comfortable.
Hi kelvin , Im getting Bose QC 35ii in 145 usd is it worth it ? And can you suggest a microphone attachment to improve call quality ?
QC35ii is best value atm and mic is a comparable.
For the algorithm
Thanks for watching!
Tried them both and loved the 35 sorry 45 didn’t wow me and all cheap plastic with a scratch Bose brand. Nah it was a terrible upgrade lol. If you upgrade please go with the 700
Not sure about the longevity or 700s. I think an ‘upgrade’ is looming/due.
This is exactly the comparison video I was looking for. Nice job on the video. Simple and straight forward. I wish they hadn't removed the back pocket on the 45 case. I use it all the time to store my boarding pass. Look like I'm going to have to get the 45 but keep the 35 case.
Thanks for the feedback! Best of both worlds on with keeping case.
lol i was sad to see that pocket go as well. Luckily i have 2 35 cases 🙈
so please according to your experiences which is better in term of sound quality? thank you
@@ahmadahmad-bw6vg assalamu alaikum, the sound signature is almost unchanged between the 35ii and 45 on default settings but on the 45 you have an in app eq to adjust whereas that app does not work with the 35ii so there’s no sound customization that being said the 35ii’s sound really pleasant without adjustment so it’s not that big of a deal for me. Also the 45 does have just a bit more openness feeling out of the triport design which might be to your liking but it’s not a big difference. The anc on the 45 however did not handle the fluctuating cabin pressure in my truck nearly as well as the 35iis and it was unbearably bad so i had to return them unfortunately.
quietcomfort 45 === yes eq max app vs quietcomfort 35=== no eq app sound quality app 45;) 35;( 😢35 no sound max not app fix
thanks for the review! are the ear pads interchangable between the two?
I would imagine so as they’re pretty much the same dimensions.
I like the Q35better than the QC45 not much difference on them .I found that 35has better base than 45.as I HV heard them .
Bass generally gets more pronounced as the headphone ages. But time will tell and yes QC35ii is best bang for buck.
qc35 sound better
What sounds good differs from person to person. Thanks for watching!
@@kelvinhong-au i do advice you to look up bose qc35 firmware manipulation. You will understand what I mean. (If I got the correct name)
Bose QC 35 ii $179 Black Friday Weekend!
Nice! Nothing really a deal here down in Aussie.
So basically it's just some minor cosmetic upgrades from the qc35 2?
Pretty much. Some of changes are actually backwards in quality feel.
@@kelvinhong-au sad to hear. Oh well, it just means the current qc35 2 that I own still dominates the market even after so long! No need to waste more money than needed.
Nope. Best Value per $ = QC35ii. Newest minor features and money isn’t a concern = QC45.
The price is ridiculous high and its stupid that you cant turn off noise cancelling...my qc35 still work great for 5 or 6 years now, maybe ill get tzhe qc45 as soon as you get them for 200€ (250$) only because of the type C
Yep. New product tax. If u got cash to spend you get the upgrades.
good thing i got the app version that i can turn noise cancellation off for my bose qc35
these are a lateral move at best and if you own 35's there is NO reason to switch...
Yup indeed. Thanks for watching!
Hi, Which Bose QC35 or Bose QC45 Headphones have better bass?
I would say QC45 personally as it was cleaner.
Not sure how you can say that the microphone is better on the 45
A tad better would prob better said.
nice review, thanks
Thanks mate!
Cheers for that. Definitely considering an upgrade from my old battered SoundLink II wired pair. I wouldn't have thought a jump from a 35ii to a 45 was worth it for the price though, but for me it's a massive leap.
Yup that’s a decent leap. Thanks for watching.
How is the sound leakage?
QC45 we’re no different to QC35ii sound leakage.
Just got a pair of the QC45 and happy so far! Nice review, thanks.
Thanks for the feedback!
@@kelvinhong-au I to love my QC 45 and it is an upgrade like ya said as I have both.
Nowadays times are TOUGH due to financial pressure for most and some don't(maybe you), I suggest to you that your recommendation should be the 45's improvements are marginal and only upgrade if you have spare cash or it is one of your first priority in life.
Absolutely. QC35ii are amazing value whereas if you got the cash go grab QC45.
Sorry, but anybody with any of this tech and/or considering this tech does NOT need to be taught a life lesson on what to do.
whatever happened to the 700 ? any remarks on comparison? was about to buy em, cause I had felt them (very) slightly more comfortable, say larger, that’s what I miss on my qc 35.
700s are aiming to be ‘higher quality’ against QC35ii. Size on QC45 are exactly the same just with softer touch materials.
@@kelvinhong-au thank you, any knowledge about the sound-quality-differences 700 to qc45 ?
